    Absolutely gorgeous loco. I managed to see it too as the Marches Express. Great loco, great station, great video!

    This is simply superb, loved every shot, well picked locations... 61306 working hard! Weather certainly made it! I liked the shot at Cogload - not often we see a loco on it's own and I think the IET passed at just the right time, added to the shot in a sense. Excellent work!

      Thank you, I made an effort to pick locations where the train was at speed or against the gradient. I was surprised at Cogload junction to see the loco on its own, I thought it would have a support coach.

    Speed and Power - how tremendously 'Clarkson'! Good film too.

    Super video! She was in fine voice. So unusual thesedays to see and engine and tender with no support carriage in tow. Thanks for dashing around the countryside.

      Glad you enjoyed it, it was my first trip to Wales in memory. Another welsh railway video to come…

      Mayflower looks great in the sun, and thanks, I try to find some good places to film, but I had never been to the region before, so using other channels locations, I think the spots made for a good video.
      The shot at Pilning was a lucky accident, I arrived at the station whilst the train was in the Severn tunnel, found the gates to the station shut, panicked, drove for 30 seconds to a random field with a footpath in it, ran into the middle of the field and just as I started to set up, I could hear the train thunder up the gradient, for a rather lucky shot!

    Fantastic she sounds amazing when powering. I saw her like that through Teignmouth for the English riviera express from Paignton

      2 cylinder symphony, like a GWR Hall or Manor. 60007, which is booked to do the next tour to Kingswear, is a completely different 3 cylinder instrument.

    Nice video. I rode on that tour last from Paignton to Shrewsbury with 60007. Wish they could have popped the steam on from Taunton but none the less. I think you still get a good steam haulage for the miles out of all that

      That sounds great! I released whilst putting the video together, that this is the first tour I’d rather be a passenger on than film. Being onboard on a nice steam hauled trip to Shrewsbury is better than watching everyone enjoy a nice steam hauled trip to Shrewsbury. Thanks for watching

    Lovely shots! What filming device do you use, by the way, as I am curious as to how you are getting such good shots.

    • @steamtothewest-trecanrail
      @steamtothewest-trecanrail  Місяць тому

      I have a camcorder, but the smoothness of shots is because I shoot with a low shutter-speed, which makes moving items blur.
